"Eliana is innocent!" King Gerald began to lure his emotions.
The discussion at the joint meeting that has since been convoluted and always tried to corner Eliana. Though it was obvious, the real thief was Emilda, the Princess of the Noirland Kingdom.
"But he has the necklace, Your Majesty. Don't close your eyes, just because you're in love with her!" A minister replied to the King with a scathing insinuation.
"Eliana has the necklace because it's her father's legacy! Why are you questioning someone's inheritance from his parents!" King Gerald insistent.
"Enough, Your Majesty, please sit down," Antony blushed at his master's emotions.
King Gerald was still hardening his jaw, but he had started to catch his breath.
Drawn slowly the shoulders of King Gerald backwards by Antony. The adviser asked his King to step down from the debate.
"There's no point in serving them, we'd better hear the case in court" Antony suggested.
"The trial is just stalling, everything will remain like this if we don't provide valid evidence that Eliana is innocent" King Gerald replied in a small whisper.
"A person who keeps royal property for years without handing it over to the authorities, that means he has stolen royal rights."
"Rubber! Wherever he got the necklace, he's taken the royal treasure."
King Gerald shook his head at the stupidity of his ministers in bringing up reasons to corner someone.
Often he thought, why his father used to appoint people as ridiculous as they became ministers. If reason and logic they are even thinner than a strand of hair.
"It is never permissible for a citizen or parliamentary official, not even a royal official, to keep royal property for personal gain."
Antony kept King Gerald from wasting energy on pointless events in this meeting.
His uncles even seemed to laugh at King Gerald and assume that the King who leads him now is incompetent because of his young age.
"Even King Gerry was killed by a woman of his choice, a woman we did not agree to marry. Right, right?"
All members of parliament also leaned on the minister of economy and finance. Suddenly, the meeting room fell silent, no one making a sound.
"Aah, eeem .. I don't mean murdered. But because of the foolish choice of the King, so he accidentally gave a poisonous mushroom to the King. I mean," the minister's errant left suspicion for King Gerald.
"How about we just drag Eliana to court to solve her necklace problem." Other ministers are trying to divert talks.
"Yes, right!"
"Agreed!"
"Yes! To be clear, question what to give to the woman!"
"True, just drag it to court."
"Be fair, King! Don't because you like him and then you don't want to drag him to court."
All heads simultaneously submitted a proposal of trial for Eliana. King Gerald was attacked by a lot of people like this, actually making him quite panicked.
Luckily Antony always asked him to be calm in all situations. So that what is now done by the King only draws and exhales to calm his mind.
"You can file a trial. But don't forget the evidence that's on me!" A voice sounded from the corner of the room quieted the commotion.
All heads turned to the source of the sound, and found a man standing at the far left corner of the back of the room.
"Eliana was right to keep the key. But the key and all the accompanying devices do not belong to the kingdom!"
